Marriage is what brings us together.

John and I went to the Mesa temple last week. This is where John's parents were married. The inside of the temple is beyond words. Mesa is one of my most favorite temples.

Save the cheerleader, save the world.

Saturday John contracted a mighty demon of an earache in both his ears. Sunday we went to the ER. I've never seen him in so much pain.

When a nurse came in to put drops in John's ears I asked if we were taking the ear drop bottle home. He said he couldn't dispense any drugs and that he was gonna throw the bottle away. Then he set the bottle on the counter, gave me a wink and said, "I'm going to LEAVE the ROOM right now. I'll be back in a fewwww." Sneaky.

I rented Heroes season 1 and we have been camping out while John recovers.

ALSO, John chopped my hair. Heeee. I look like a grandma. There's a blonde bell on my head. Hmm more like those chalk pictures Katelyn and I drew on the sidewalk in Provo when we were kiddies. HELMET. You know what I'm talkin about. It's hot. I'm bringin sexy grandma back.

Pastel painting by yours truly.

Over Christmas break my mom mentioned a dream she had about my Grandpa Hall teaching my Grandma Fox the gospel in the afterlife. I decided I wanted to paint her dream into a pastel drawing. The little dog is Charlie, my Grandma Hall's dog.

I was very happy to be able to finish it in time.

I'm radiant!

Here is a most delightsome poem written by Aubrey aka bracita #5. Love it. Cherish it. Read it. Who knew I could inspire such profound wordage?

Is this Poem Handwritten??

To the memory of Danika Popester who has gone to live in the Big Hot planet Arizona:

Ahem..

"No such Jilly-Jolly! today's the day!"
"But what day?" you say
I say, "Well, I'll tell you if i may
The day that Danika popester has gone away!
The flowers are frosted, the trees are stiff
And here i am without my hankie-chiff
She's the lovliest sight you ever have seen
with hair of gold and eyes of blue
this baby face beauty will turn your heart into Goo!"
"But who is this gal you speak of?"
"Why She's an angel of peace, as pretty as a dove."
She's Radiant and Humble,with a heart so big,
Yes!, you guessed right, she's the famous "Wilbur the Pig!"
-Just kidding I say, I do say I'm just pulling your leg,
I'll keep you guessing, now go right ahead.
You do the bidding bubbling with Buoyoncy,
sparkling with charm this exotic chica is no piglet on a farm.
She's beautiful and kind, a treasure indeed.
A playmate, a counselor, a true friend in need.
I love this sweet spirit, no words can convey,
how much i miss our daily trips to Subway!
I'm sure you'll agree that this poem is a piece of poo
But oh how i love you.... you know i do.

Highlights of Christmas vacation.

Best parts of Christmas vacation slash crashing the Brand residence all month:

1. One word: BULLHONKEY

2. Family pictures

3. Seeing Jenny again.

4. Professional Kung Fu Panda impersonators at 2AM

Classy.

What juicy entertainment.

:):):):):) Miss you dudeys.

Bullhonkey

Ramsie has been crying all morning. I think it's because she misses Bailey, Poodley and Butz to Botz. I myself have been moping around all morning. It's so strange to be home. It doesn't feel like home.

1. Our plant died
2. 6 notices on our door from FedEx
3. Our fruit grew into a new species
4. It's too bloody quiet

John and I are watching "The Dark Knight". The Joker gave it to me for Christmas...
